Unofficial stagiaire forum run by stagiaires of the Winter Stage 2011 at the European Institutions. This is an area to share information, views and comments on the stage, and is your first stop for any questions you may have about it.

So, today the first newsletter of the new Stage Committee was released. We'd love to have your feedback - what else would you like to have in the newsletter? How can we improve it? Or was it so perfect that nothing could possibly be improved? We'd preferably like you to respond the latter as it would make our life very simple indeed!

I just want to say I am glad that you have chosen PDF as the file format for the newsletter, instead of the rather proprietary Outlook's HTML layout of the previous newsletters which displayed well only at Commission computers with the same version of Outlook and which you could not simply save on a flash disk and take with you to read or refer to at home.

Thanks for your reply regarding the format of the Newsletter. We plan to continue using the PDF format, but we'll also make a poll on this forum to decide which format stagiaires prefer on the whole. Please answer as your responses will determine whether we continue using PDF or whether we revert to the old HTML format.
